Eddie Jones

Eddie Jones is a player I always quietly appreciated. The 198 cm guard out of Pompano Beach earned Atlantic 10 Player of the Year at Temple and dragged the Owls to the Elite Eight before a 14-year NBA career across five teams. Lasting that long everywhere tells me he was a coach's dream, reliable on defense and deadly from three. He never had the marquee shine of the era's superstars, but those two-way connoisseurs' picks are the backbone of any roster. To me he reads like an early template for the modern long, switchable guard.
